SURF LIFE SAVING PRIDES ITSELF ON ITS LEADERSHIP PATHWAYS, MENTORING AND JUNIOR DEVELOPMENT
The main areas of focus within surf lifesaving are:
01
Membership
Lifesaving has a membership catergory for everyone
No matter your age, there is a role for everyone within a surf lifesaving club. From a member of the 27/7 Call Out Team to cooking sausages at the Sunday nippers’ program, from being the President of the Club to selling raffle tickets at the Pub, we can all volunteer and make a valuable contribution to our clubs and our communities.
For more details and to find the right option for you, please contact your local Club.
02
Junior Activities
developing our lifesavers of tomorrow
Junior activities, better known as ‘Nippers’, is an activity-based program designed to educate young children about surf safety and awareness. The Nipper program offers participants the opportunity to meet new friends whilst taking part in activities to develop skills in lifesaving, surf safety, surf sports, personal development and leadership.
The Nippers program is held in most surf clubs during the summer period on Sunday mornings. Contact your local club to get involved.
03
Youth Engagement

Our young people come to Surf Life Saving with drive, passion and a commitment to change for a brighter future for the Movement. It is important that Clubs work towards engaging young people so as to make the most of what they have to offer, and to ensure strong succession planning for the future of the Club.
The FSCB Youth Engagement Program (WAMBIRI) provides youth members with a structured engagement program to keep them motivated and involved in Surf Life Saving. The program also offers them the opportunity to explore and become involved in a range of areas within the movement which they may not have previously considered.
FSC Branch also support our youth in developing their passion for lifesaving in providing the opportunity for our U14 age members to represent themselves and our Branch at the SLSNSW run Junior Lifesaver of the Year Program (JLOTY)
